(You can talk about anything you want in the comments, as is the norm in an Althouse blog "café" post. This is also a shopping post, with a link to Amazon, where if you go and buy anything before leaving, you'll be making a contribution to this blog without paying any extra for the product. The photograph is not by me. It's an Amazon photo. I'm not actually recommending these owl-themed products. I'm making an Amazon portal out of them a propos of the post about owls — and 70s nostalgia — earlier today.)

Or maybe that's because I considered them one of the 5 basic food groups growing up.

Anywho, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Gallup putting Zero's approval at 43. Granted Gallup's only asking registered voters, so this isn't really what his true approval is, but this is supposed to be the week momentum shifted after his big immigration pander last week.

My son, who lives is Madison, sat at a bar the night of the recall election with a woman who works for Walker. (In what capacity I do not know.) She told him, the Walker campaign was figuring on 150,000 fraudulent votes and that they would lose the recall. I was surprised.

My favorite owl is my Attic Owl coin that I bought for 100 Euros at Ephesus a few years ago. My coin is in much better condition than the one at the link. My middle daughter covets it but I don't know how much it is worth. It might be worth too much. I bought it from a workman who, I'm sure, dug it up and sold it instead of turning it in the Turkish authorities.
